My Profile

I’m a DIY programmer, with web coding, drawing, modeling and texturing skills as well. My main focus is gameplay programming, but I also want to make my own engine to work in. Learning new things, like programming languages,… is what I try to do as much as possible. I can also help build upon a game concept, think of more features to add, think of new ways to improve the gameplay mechanics, etc. My real passions are puzzle, music and strategy games.
